HIP PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION Meaning and
Definition
-
Hip prosthesis implantation refers to a surgical procedure in which an artificial hip joint, or hip prosthesis, is surgically inserted into the human body to replace a damaged or diseased hip joint. This procedure is typically performed on individuals suffering from severe hip joint pain due to conditions such as arthritis, fractures, or deteriorating bone tissue.
During hip prosthesis implantation, the damaged portions of the natural hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components, including a metal or ceramic ball-shaped head that replaces the top of the femur (thigh bone), and a cup-shaped socket that replaces the damaged hip socket. These components are usually made from biocompatible materials that are designed to mimic the natural movement and function of the hip joint.
The surgical procedure involves an incision made near the hip joint, through which the surgeon gains access to the bone. After removing any damaged tissue, the artificial components are securely implanted and attached to the remaining healthy bone using specialized bone cement or screws. The muscles and other soft tissues are then carefully reattached and the incision is closed.
The purpose of a hip prosthesis implantation is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life for individuals suffering from debilitating hip joint conditions. Rehabilitation following the surgery is usually necessary to regain strength and mobility, involving physical therapy and exercises specific to the patient's condition.
